Abstract:In a previous paper ('The Ashanti Rubber Trade with the Gold Coast in the Eighteen-Nineties', in: Africa, 42(1972), 1, p. 32/43) the point was made that, beside the addition to the wealth of the producers, the rubber industry prepared the ground for cocoa production through fostering organizational skills, inducing certain changes in systems of landholding and the transfer of assets and labour used in the rubber to the cocoa industry. The present paper elaborates the points made in the previous article. It focusses on 1) the spread and monetary value of the industry; 2) the methods of obtaining rubber and 3) slave labour in rubber production. Bibliogr., notes, tab.
